Kanye West Parts Ways With Manager Scooter Braun

Kanye West’s return to social media has been nothing if not revolutionary. Spouting woke words left and right and making announcements about Yeezy, music, and a possible run for president in 2024 has left many fans trying to catch up.

Importantly, buried in a seemingly endless string of tweets, was the news that West and longtime manager Scooter Braun have parted ways. The two have worked together since March 2016.

In follow up tweets, West explains the move was a part of shifting all his employees in house, including hiring a full-time lawyer, CEO and CFO for Yeezy. Billboard reports that Scooter’s company, SB Projects, will still work with Yeezy, though the two will no longer act under management/client roles.

We have 160 positions to fill by the end of the year. Yeezy will hit a billion dollars this year. It is the 2nd fastest growing company in history. It is a unicorn on its way to becoming a decacorn.

Lover of all bass music. I'm not afraid to speak my mind and put it to paper, and I do it often. I call Los Angeles my home, there's no better place for emerging EDM. Get in touch with me more via email or Twitter.
